The closest candidate they had that I liked was RFK Jr., but, he's officially running as an Independent/3rd party option. Or was.

RFK Jr did want to run as a Democrat but they forced him out.  He may have gotten my vote because he may have brought common sense back to the Democratic party. Too bad they screwed him because he would of been a much stronger candidate to back than Harris.

This is why I also cannot get onboard with the Democratic party. They spent the last eight years demonizing Trump instead of just building up, cultivating and establishing strong, viable leadership and young, promising candidates.

That's not to say the Republican's have as well. Maybe Vivek, maybe DeSantis. Vance will get his chance potentially if he plays the game right with Trump.

But, yeah. Just nothing over there on the left that gets me excited or hopeful for the long term. Especially at 36 years of age with a 4 year old son to worry about.

The social agenda [BLEEP] from that side worries me a whole hell of lot more than what's said or parroted from the right. The right is also warming up to miniorities and the LGBTQ+ community now more than ever.

A lot of the race cards and vitcimization the left has rallied behind for decades is finally losing it's foothold in the grand scheme of things.

RFK had potential. He was forced out like you said, because, he's not within their club or clique over there. It's the same way Bernie Sanders got brow beaten, or, physically beaten (black eye incident) into endorsing Clinton in 2016 after he said he wouldn't do it.
